Belle's POV
"Where are you going?" Nikolai asked.
"I'm going to the privy."
He then signaled Boris to come with me. "No Nikolai, I can perfectly pee on my own."
"I know, but someone has to guard the door for you." Well he's paranoid. Who would want to hurt me?
We are surrounded by his people.
"I'll just make sure the door is locked I promise."
"Either you go with Boris or you pee on the beach where I can see you, what's it going to be baby?"
Nikolai doesn't look like he's kidding at all.
"Fine, Boris can come with."
"Good girl." I just rolled my eyes at him. He is being so difficult again.
After going to the privy, I decided to go the kitchen to find some water. I suddenly realized that I left my
phone in the loo inside the room reserved for Nikolai. I asked Boris to get it for me while I go to the
kitchen.
"Hey there." Three bikini clad, blonde women approached me.
"Hi." I greeted them back. I suddenly remember what I promised to Nikolai. I left the glass on the table
and decided to leave. I gave them a faint smile. They all looked at me like they are up to something.
"So you're the girl they were talking about." I have seen this before. Another deranged woman
obsessed with Alexei. Can't these women leave me alone?
"Hmm, where did they find you?" The one in the middle spoke while examining me from head to foot.
"Excuse me?"
"The Boss and the Underboss, you are their new toy. Those two really enjoy sharing." The other one on
the left said.
I was about to move but the one to the right blocked my way.
"We have never seen you at Zora. We would know because we work there." Said the one in the middle.
"Uh what she really means is that we work the boss and the Underboss there." They all giggled and
they all looked proud. My Nikolai and Alexei had sex with these women? I just could not even imagine
Nikolai doing it with some other girl.
"I wonder why the two stopped paying a visit. You don't look special at all. The Boss and the
Underboss are not into, well, let's just say, fatties." Said the one on the right. They all chuckled
mockingly. I suddenly remember Amy, if she was here, she would have punched this minx on the face.
Amy did not tolerate other people calling me fat. Personally though, I don't take offense. There are just
bad people in the world. I turn my back on them and decided to go the other way. One of them
suddenly pulled my arm back.
"Let go of me at once!" I looked at her intensely.
"Or what? Do you really think the Boss would give a shit if the women he beds with would kill each
other? Don't kid yourself girl." Said the one holding my arm.
All of a sudden, Boris appeared from behind the three girls. My heart jumped from my chest when Boris
pulled the woman holding me by her hair and smashed her head on the table. It made a very loud
bang. The other two gasped in horror, the look of shock on their faces is indescribable. They attempted
to run but Boris caught them, one on the neck and the other one by her hair.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Pleaded the one in pink bikini. Her make-up is smudged by her tears already. Both
of them are on their knees.
"We were just talking to her Boris." The other one clasp her hands as if praying for her life. The other
one who got smashed in the table is bleeding on her nose.
"Boris stop!" I yelled. I see that he was about to inflict more pain to the two. "Boris please stop!"
The commotion took a lot of attention since the kitchen can be practically seen from the outside. The
people around did not even intervene.
Suddenly I felt lightheaded. I can't breathe and I feel like I'm going to collapse anytime now.

Nikolai and Alexei are talking with the elders. Yuri barged in the meeting in the tent.
Yuri: Boss, it's Belle.
Nikolai and Alexei quickly ran inside the beach house.
They see Belle on Boris' arms already passed out.
Nikolai: What the fuck happened?
Nikolai quickly took Belle from Boris.
Nikolai: We bring her to the clinic now! This party is over.
~
In the clinic with Dr. Marcus are Nikolai and Alexei.
Marcus: She's dehydrated and her passing out is because of the shock and exhaustion. And I suspect
she hasn't been eating well these past few days. Perhaps a sudden change on her diet triggered that.
Other possibility is that she might be pregnant. The results will be out in a few minutes.
Nikolai: She can't be pregnant. She's chaste.
Marcus: Boss, I'm just setting out the possibilities. We can never be sure. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Nikolai looked Dr. Marcus sternly.
Alexei suddenly saw black and grabbed Dr. Marcus' collar.
Alexei: Who the fuck do you think you are talking to? When the Boss says that his lady is chaste, she is
chaste! You got it?
Dr. Marcus raised his hands.
Marcus: I'm sorry Boss. I'll just prescribe some vitamins for her and just make sure she's always
hydrated and she eats well on time. Meanwhile she needs to rest for at least a few days.

I woke up in Nikolai's room. I looked around and I see red daisies on several vases on the tables, on
top of the wooden drawers and on the floor. To my right on the bed is a bunch of baby's breath tied in
cream colored ribbon and it has a note attach to it.
To my beauty,
Beast.
Awwww Nikolai. My heart is instantly filled with warmth. I squealed and dropped my head back to bed
while placing the flower and card on top of my heart.
I checked my phone to dial Nikolai but I noticed that I have several missed calls and five messages.
Dylan has been calling me since yesterday. I'll just call him later. Now, I want to hear the voice of the
love of my life.
After two rings, Nikolai answered. "Hey, you're awake."
"I miss you Nikolai, I got the flowers. I love it! Where are you?"
"I'm just taking care of some important business."
"When are you coming back?"
"As soon as I can. I had Alexei prepare for your food and other things that you need. I want you to do
what Alexei says okay?"
"No."
"I know you would say that, that's why I ordered him to do whatever necessary to make you do as he
says."
"What? But baby, Alexei is like a priest! He gives out sermons all the time. He's like Papa, worst even!"
Nikolai softly chuckled in response.
"Just come home early Nikolai."
"Yes baby."
"I love you Nikolai."
"I love you. I need you to regain your strength for tonight."
I quickly cancelled the call. I know very well where the conversation is heading. Seconds later I
received a text from him.
"I am going to claim you tonight."
Oh my god. I can feel my face flush. We are going to do it tonight.
When I was still in college, I have promised myself not to have sex with anyone else but to the one that
I truly love and the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Now that I have found that man, I
am willing to give my all. And I am going to work this out with him no matter what.
I noticed a medical tape and cotton at the back of my left hand. An I.V must have been injected in me.
My legs are weak and I feel my stomach turn. Memories of what happened in the beach came rushing
back to me. Boris, who I thought was a gentle giant is not that gentle at all. I don't know if I'm going to
see him the same way again.
I went to the bathroom and inspected myself in the mirror. I cringed while looking at my reflection. I look
like a raccoon played with my hair. I have panda eyes, my lips are dry, and I'm still wearing Nikolai's
shirt, although this one looks and smells fresh. I also notice a bruise on my right arm. This must be
from the tight grip of that deranged woman from Nikolai's party.
I'm not wearing any bra but I have fresh panties on. I decided to text Nikolai.
"Nikolai, who put this shirt and undies on me?"
His reply made my heart melt.
"Yours truly. NIKOLAI VYACHESLAV VOLKOV all the way baby."
What an arrogant...ly handsome and sweet guy.
A smile formed on my face as I recall what Nikolai and I did in the water. It was one of the most
amazing feeling ever. His Nikolai's lustful green eyes and his touch made my body crumble, plus the
fact that we might get caught made the experience even more exciting.
